Anti-Fur Activists Pelt Lohan With Flour

Actress Targeted By PETA After Being Criticized For Wearing Fur

(CBS/AP)  U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan was pelted with a flour bomb upon arrival at a Paris nightclub wearing a fur stole.

Animal rights activists showered the 22-year-old actress with flour when she went to the VIP Room Theater in the early hours of Saturday with her friend, disc jockey Samantha Ronson.

The owner of the nightclub helped Lohan dust off her blue sequined dress and black stole before she posed on the red carpet.

Ronson went on to spin tracks for a crowd that included reggae rapper Shaggy and "I Kissed a Girl" singer Katy Perry.

Earlier this year People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals named Lohan to its list of the "Worst-Dressed" Celebrities of 2008, citing the actress and others for wearing furs, snakeskin and other apparel made from animals.

Others mentioned by PETA included Aretha Franklin, Eva Longoria, Kate Moss and Marilyn Manson.

Robbie LeBlanc of PETA Europe said of the incident, "Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all."

Lohan sparked a different controversy earlier this week following an interview where she referred to President-elect Barack Obama in a TV interview as the country's "first colored president."

Describing her experience on Election Day on the show "Access Hollywood," Lohan said: "It was really exciting. It's an amazing feeling. It's our first colored president."

A spokeswoman for Lohan didn't immediately return messages left Wednesday.

Interviewer Maria Menounos didn't question the 22-year-old actress on her use of the term, which dates back to the period when blacks were legally discriminated against. "Access Hollywood" also didn't cite her remark in its online story, but did post an "extended interview" video on its Web site that included the remark.

A spokesman for the syndicated entertainment news program said in a statement Wednesday: "We believe the word in question that Ms. Lohan used was unintelligible."

Lohan blogged about her support of Obama during the presidential campaign.

Serves her right.

[ybotheratall]

Please visit Petakillsanimals dot com. They are murderers of COUNTLESS animals and don''t want anyone to know. They use violence and intimidation in their terrorist like tactics. They should be prosecuted and jailed, their organization sued and hopefully put out of business.

I LOVE Lindsay''s stole!

Antiqued in Paris.....how clichi

[sblake63]

Lmao the tolerant left!

Left wing psychos who think it%u2019s a shame to hurt animals but I would bet 10000 bucks are pro abortion. Kill the babies but save the seals? Yet they attack one of their own a bi sexual piece of garbage who hangs with a short haired ugly ***. Wow isn%u2019t the left consistent?

[u-r-right]

I can see why she likes fur. I''ll bet Sam Ronson has plenty of extra fur on her/Its body.

[thomm1961]

Why do we pay so much attention to this piece of dumb dirt and her *** girlfriend? Anyone who wears fur is an *** we all know that. And yes animals are skinned alive for their fur, especially in China. I thought I was done with her after the "colored" remark but now after seeing her in fur she''s dead to me.

[thisandthat1]

thomm1961 .... good question. Why do you? I guess to answer your question.... you didn''t have anything better to do today than read this story and comment in it.

That url is wrong, you meant THIS one;

PetaKillsAnimals.com
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a group that complains bitterly when animals die accidentally in horse races or intentionally in slaughterhouses, killed more than 90 percent of the adoptable animals in its care during 2007.

Last year, PETA wrangled with the Virginia government for nine months before its 2006 records were finally made public. In a cynical bid to hide the outrageous percentage of animals that wind up in their giant walk-in freezer, PETA''s leaders tried to lump the pets they spayed or neutered in with those they took in for more than an hour. That squabbling continues, but this year we decided not to wait for the dust to settle.

PETA claims to be dedicated to protecting animals and treating them "ethically"%u2014it%u2019s right there in the group%u2019s name. But killing animals that could otherwise be placed in adoptive homes isn%u2019t terribly ethical, especially for a group whose $30 million annual income is more than enough to do the right thing instead.

In comparison, the Virginia Beach SPCA, right down the road from PETA%u2019s Norfolk headquarters, managed to adopt out almost 70% of the animals in its care last year. And it did it on a relative shoestring budget.

[nothappyatall]

PETA rakes in nearly $30 million each year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists.

PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn''t ethical. It''s hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren''t their own doing.

[nothappyatall]

PETA''s leadership has compared animal farmers to serial killer (and cannibal) Jeffrey Dahmer. They proclaimed in a 2003 exhibit that chickens are as valuable as Jewish Holocaust victims. They announced with a 2001 billboard that a shark attack on a little boy was revenge against humans who had it coming anyway. They have branded parents who feed their kids meat and milk child abusers. In 2002 PETA organized a campaign to sabotage a popular Thanksgiving hotline, which provides free advice about cooking turkeys. The group has even contemplated dancing on the grave of Kentucky Fried Chicken''s Colonel Sanders. And in 2003, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk wrote to Yasser Arafat, pleading with him to make certain no animals are harmed in Palestinian suicide-bombing attacks.

PETA peddles its animal liberation food agenda through a medical front group that pretends to offer objective nutritional advice.
A group misleadingly named the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has duped the press into believing that it is an association of conscientious doctors promoting good nutrition. In fact, it is a PETA front group. PCRM and PETA share money, offices, and staff. The American Medical Association calls PCRM a "pseudo-physicians group," has demanded that PCRM stop its inappropriate and unethical tactics used to manipulate public opinion, and argues that PCRM has been "blatantly misleading Americans" and "concealing its true purpose as an animal ''rights'' organization."

[nothappyatall]

PETA opposes life-saving medical research.
PETA has repeatedly attacked groups like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, for conducting animal testing to find cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. When asked if she would oppose an experiment on five thousand rats if it would result in a cure for AIDS, Newkirk responded: "Would you be opposed to experiments on your daughter if you knew it would save fifty million people?" In addition to opposing any and all medical research that uses animals, PETA also insults medical professionals by arguing, with a straight face, that animal testing is a counterproductive means of finding cures for human diseases.

PETA devalues human life.
PETA''s efforts to treasure every mosquito and cockroach invariably lead them to hate human beings for using bug spray and RAID. Ingrid Newkirk argues that as human beings, "we''re the biggest blight on the face of the earth."

PETA openly supports violence and terrorist activity.
PETA has long-standing ties to militant groups like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). The FBI calls these criminal groups a "serious domestic terrorist threat."

http://www.activistcash.com/

[nothappyatall]

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals provides aid and comfort for the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The two groups are responsible for more than 600 crimes since 1996, causing (by a very conservative FBI estimate) more than $43 million in damage. ALFs press office brags that in 2002, the two groups committed 100 illegal direct actions -- like blowing up SUVs, destroying the brakes on seafood delivery trucks, and planting firebombs in restaurants.

The FBI calls ALF and ELF the nations most serious domestic terrorism threat. Bruce Friedrich, PETAs vegan campaign director and third-in-command, didnt seem to care when he addressed the Animal Rights 2001 convention in Virginia, telling a crowd of over 1,000 activists that blowing stuff up and smashing windows is a great way to bring about animal liberation.

It would be great, he added, if all the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow.

PETAs connections to ALF and ELF are indisputable. We did it, we did it. We gave $1,500 to the ELF for a specific program, PETAs Lisa Lange admitted on the Fox News Channel. PETA has offered no fewer than eight different explanations of what the specific program was, but law enforcement leaders have noted that since the Earth Liberation Front is a criminal enterprise, it has absolutely no legal programs of any kind.

[nothappyatall]

For instance, in 2003, ELF set fire to an unfinished, 200 unit condominium complex near San Diego. The arson caused $50 million in damage, and according to a San Diego Fire Captain: It could have killed someone. ELF left its calling card in the form of a twelve foot sign that read: If you build it -- we will burn it -- the ELFs are mad.

PETA also has given $2,000 to David Wilson, then a national ALF spokesperson. The group paid $27,000 for the legal defense of Roger Troen, who was arrested for taking part in an October 1986 burglary and arson at the University of Oregon. It gave $7,500 to Fran Stephanie Trutt, who tried to murder the president of a medical laboratory. It gave $5,000 to Josh Harper, who attacked Native Americans on a whale hunt by throwing smoke bombs, shooting flares, and spraying their faces with chemical fire extinguishers. All of these monies were paid out of tax-exempt funds, the same pot of money constantly enlarged by donations from an unsuspecting general public.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk is also an acknowledged financial supporter of a publication called No Compromise. This periodical operates on behalf of the radicals of ALF, and often publishes underground communiqus and calls to arms from ALF leaders.

[nothappyatall]

Most ominously, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk was involved in the multi-million-dollar arson at Michigan State University that resulted in a 57-month prison term for Animal Liberation Front bomber Rodney Coronado. At Coronados sentencing hearing, U.S. Attorney Michael Dettmer said that PETAs Ingrid Newkirk arranged ahead of time to have Coronado send her a pair of FedEx packages from Michigan -- one on the day before he burned the lab down, and the other shortly afterward.

The first FedEx, according to the Sentencing Memorandum, was delivered to a woman named Maria Blanton, a longtime PETA member who had agreed to accept the first Federal Express package from Coronado after being asked to do so by Ingrid Newkirk. The FBI intercepted the second package, which had been sent to the same address. It contained documents that Coronado stole before lighting his firebombs, as well as a videotape of the perpetrator of the MSU crime, disguised in a ski mask. Since Coronado was convicted of the arson, we now know that he himself was that masked man. Significantly, wrote U.S. Attorney Dettmer, Newkirk had arranged to have the package[s] delivered to her days before the MSU arson occurred. (emphasis in the original)

[nothappyatall]

A search warrant executed at Blantons home turned up evidence that PETAs other co-founder, Alex Pacheco, had also been planning burglaries and break-ins along with Rodney Coronado. The feds seized surveillance logs; code names for Coronado, Pacheco, and others; burglary tools; two-way radios; night vision goggles; [and] phony identification for Coronado and Pacheco.

Shortly after Coronados arrest, PETA gave $45,200 to his support committee and loaned $25,000 to his father (the loan was never repaid and PETA hasnt complained). Now free from jail, with an expired parole, and with the benefit of an expired Statute of Limitations on his many earlier arsons (to which he readily confesses in his standard stump speech), Coronado stood before a crowd of hundreds of young people at American University in January 2003 and demonstrated how to turn a milk jug into a bomb. A few days later, ALF criminals tried to burn down a McDonalds restaurant in Chico, California, using a firebomb that matched Coronados recipe.

Wow, alot of souless animal haters here. If it''s peta or some other group, the point is in this day and age we should be more educated then scalping animals for a coat. It''s not even attractive looking. While they way they stand up for animals rights aren''t always right, someone needs to be advocates for the animals since they don''t have voices and choices like we do.

[mtminds]

Why is this fur thing even worth mentioning?
Instead the news should focus on why she used the term Colored to describe Obama. How much of a racist is she?

[rsmik]

I suppose using the word "colored" to describe our president is just easier for Lindsay to say than "person of color" or "non-white" or "half-black", just as it is easier to refer to Lindsay as "furbound firecrotch" instead of "intelligent person".

[chordmonkey]

"Animal haters" ?????? ***????? Who hates animals - they are so tasty! PETA = Poser Environmental Tagalong A$$h*les. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

She should start carrying around water balloons and "retaliate" when she''s harassed by animal rights activists.

wow- it looks like Lohan has just as much brainpower as the Governor of Alaska...too bad there are no pics of the flour child

PETA members are spoiled loonies. I guarantee you if you placed them in conditions where they had to eat or wear animals or die, these crazy people-haters would come down on the side of the humans at last.

She''s lesbian. She''s entitled to be as much a racist as any non-white person* is entitled to call her a perceptually derogatory epithet too.

* or even a white person.

"I guarantee you if you placed [PETA] in conditions where they had to eat or wear animals or die, these crazy people-haters would come down on the side of the humans at last."

That is the point. PETA people have a choice; you also have a choice. No one is asking you to die, just to make the right choice and not act like you are being forced to abuse animals--you CHOOSE to do so, and not just once--it is a choice you make every day and will make again tomorrow.

Meat eaters are leftovers from the caveman period. They are made both violent by eating it and made sick by the factory farm version of it.

I don''t know how people eat that stuff.

Yuck.

[erich_1-2009]

My Opinion:

PETA should leave her alone.

"Colored" - President Elect Obama''s mother was 1/2 white, and his natural dad was 1/16 negroid and the rest Arab.

"Colored" is a derogatory term and should no longer be used, though technically correct.

Should the term "Black" be used for someone who is only 1/32 Negroid or Black?

The correct term for President Elect Obama is African-American...if he really is a U.S. Citizen.

[bailmeout1]

He will stop being ''Colored'' when the NAACP changes its'' name. Why is he African-American, when so little of him traces to Africa..... or America?

[whatever46-2009]

People wearing animal skin are strange.

The AIP Party, with Alan Keyes has just filed a lawsuit with the State Of California asking for President Elect Obama''s actual copy of his Birth Certificate.

Alan Keyes may be a little Right-Wing, but Berg the ex Democrat Attorney General from Pennsylvania is not.

There could actually be a person elected by the American people who was born in Kenya, current citizen of Kenya and Indonesia, and never really a citizen of the U.S. Very weird!

These stupid people....peta is simply against asrseholesss like some of you from skinning animals alive and torturing the heck out of them. If you are doing that there is definitely something wrong with you, it''s kind of like going to church and molesting children. What is wrong with peta denouncing this?, you don''t have enough blood in your video games? scum drug addicts like brittney spears and lindsey lohan, both GOP supporters and therefore racists and backwards hicks and terrorists definitely fit the profile of animal torturers.

Gee, why don''t you go live with the tigers awhile? You''re on their side, right? I''m sure they are on the side of humans who prefer other species to their own?

I will never support a terrorist group like PETA. Terrorizing humans IS animal abuse. We are animals, too.

[willcaine]

Why don''t the activists go down to a bad-*** biker bar and accost the leather-clad bikers this way?

[Meg003]

What have you PETA terrorists done FOR animals? I have personally adopted or found homes for dozens of mistreated or homeless pets, saving several from being put to death in shelters, and paying for spays and neuters for animals.

I have also purchase shoes and coats for humans in need, and have bought medicine for families who couldn''t pay. I have also given a temporary room to homeless people/families AND found them jobs.

What I will NEVER do is attack my fellow human beings for any reason other than self-defense or the defense of someone else.

Forget it. PETA supporters are terrorist cowards. You could give them a fair fight. Much easier to pick on a young girl whose lifestyle makes her a target for bullies.

[bobgee_1999]

This article is interesting because every faction mentioned is dumb. Lohan is dumb, the people who are offended by her use of the word "colored" are dumb.
Why take offense when no offense is meant?

The PETA issue, likewise: these PETA peoiple are fanatics, people who over-react to them are equally goofy. Such as smclimans, who thinks he is legally (or even morally) justified in shooting someone because they toss flour on him. He will quickly learn otherwise if he ever does so.

[Meg003]

I wouldn''t be too sure about return fire not being justified. If people jump out and assault you by throwing something at you, how do you determine the extent of the danger in a split second? How do you know the substance being thrown isn''t dangerous?
